Leave em alone guys...

Waiting patiently for a baby to arrive is hard enough. So by adding phone calls and texts EVERY DAY by several people adds to stress levels which could delay the process further.

Be patient. Because these mums have been patient for about 9 months so far 😘

Be patient. We know you care. We know you are excited and that is SO wonderful to be part of that journey ❤

Be patient. Remember due dates are highly estimated, there's a whole 5 week scope of "due time" ⌛

⭐ TIP. If you are expecting a baby, add 2 weeks onto the due date when telling people. It will alleviate any messaging pressure at the time 😉⭐

🏡 Happy International Home Birth Day 🏡

Here's a tiny snippet of raw footage seconds after Aida was born speedily at home.

A birth speed I certainly wasn't expecting, especially after our son's 61 hour labour! But 4 hours and she was done and dusted. Perfect timing for a later breakfast of 9.03am 🤣

What I love about my chalk and cheese birth lengths is how all the tools of hypnobirthing still worked... all it meant was I moved through them quicker for Aida's birth which led me to both births being drug-free, pain-free (I know I know, strong words that we cover in hypnobirthing!) and feeling ridiculously empowered 💪🏼

Hypnobirthing is for all births, no matter where you choose to have your baby, but today is for the appreciation of home birth, options, and having the right support... the team for you to have the right birth on the day for you and your baby ❤️

Hypnobirthing courses start next week... you in?

Love this ❤️

Incredible right?!

A study back in 1993 by Jenkins and Pritchard showed that that those that had used Hypnotherapy whilst preparing for birth had a quicker labour than those that didn’t by an average of 3 hours.

Why could this be?

Well…

-Hypnobirthing optimises the hormones of birth meaning that labour is less likely to be unintentionally stalled.

-Releasing fear beforehand means that women are more likely to be relaxed on the day. A relaxed body births easier and more comfortably.

-Those using Hypnobirthing are more likely to understand the things that can influence the length of labour and work with their body e.g. staying home longer, being upright and using movement.

This is just one of the amazing things about Hypnobirthing! 🦋

Sharing this here do that my rugby loving girl can see it in the future 🏉

(Who is also always talking about having 4 children 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣)

THIS 👇🏻

A message from Annette Bevan of based in Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom. Annette and some of her teammates are advocates for letting fellow athletes both Grassroots & Professional that the game is not over for them at Motherhood. It’s only just beginning :

“Playing rugby doesn’t end when motherhood begins - if anything, it’s made me more resilient, more determined and more educated about the changes to my body and how I need to adapt my training. I’ve learnt to maximise my training time and have become the master of a superset. I’ve learnt to not be too proud to ask for help from my ‘village’ of family, friends, rugby club and teammates, who are legends for the support they provide on match days, on training nights and everything in between. And I’ve learnt you can literally push your body to do anything even if at one day postpartum you think you’ll never even be able to walk normally ever again.“

📢 Vomiting of Pregnancy (NVP) & Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Survey – Have Your Say!
Have you experienced Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy (NVP) or Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)? Are you currently suffering from it?

We’re inviting you to take part in the Vomiting of Pregnancy (NVP) and Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Survey, led by King’s College London. This research aims to explore the true impact of NVP and HG on women’s quality of life and assess the economic burden of these conditions on individuals and the healthcare system.

💡 Why is this important?

Despite affecting millions of women, NVP and HG are often underfunded and misunderstood. Understanding the financial and personal costs of these conditions is crucial for improving healthcare policies, funding, and support services. Your responses will help demonstrate the need for better treatments, access to care, and recognition of the true impact of these conditions.

🔹 Completely anonymous & voluntary
🔹 Takes just 10 minutes to complete
🔹 Your voice can help change future care for HG & NVP sufferers

➡️ Take the survey now: https://ow.ly/mk6K50VgQOM

If you have any questions or find any of the questions distressing, please reach out to Pregnancy Sickness Support—we’re here to help. 💜
